Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

TA gas cooler for a medium voltage switchgear assembly with a gas compartment, having a housing with a hollow body for accommodating the heated gas, which flows through the medium voltage switchgear assembly and is heated by at least one heat-generating current conductor, wherein the hollow body of the housing is divided at least partly in several parallel hollow bodies, which are shaped as fins.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A gas cooler for a medium voltage switchgear assembly, the gas cooler comprising: a gas compartment including a housing including a hollow body configured to accommodate heated gas, wherein the heated gas flows through the medium voltage switchgear assembly, wherein the heated gas is heated by at least one heat-generating current conductor, wherein the hollow body of the housing is divided at least partly in several parallel hollow bodies, shaped as fins, or wherein the fins are directly arranged on the housing. 2 . The gas cooler of claim 1 , wherein the hollow body of the housing is divided at least partly in several parallel hollow bodies, shaped as fins. 3 . The gas cooler of claim 1 , wherein the fins are directly arranged on the housing. 4 . The gas cooler of claim 1 , wherein the fins are implemented into a cover plate or a partial housing, wherein the cover plate or partial housing is not integral part of the switchgear assembly, but separate, and therefore detachable and closable part of switchgear assembly. 5 . The gas cooler of claim 1 , wherein the fins are implemented into the cover plate. 6 . The gas cooler of claim 1 , wherein the fins are implemented into the partial housing. 7 . The gas cooler of claim 1 , wherein the fins are arranged symmetrically. 8 . The gas cooler of claim 1 , wherein the fins are arranged asymmetrically. 9 . The gas cooler of claim 1 , wherein the fins include a plain sheet metal. 10 . The gas cooler of claim 1 , wherein the fins are made of plain sheet metal. 11 . The gas cooler of claim 9 , wherein the plain sheet metal is steel or stainless steel. 12 . The gas cooler of claim 9 , wherein the plain sheet metal includes steel. 13 . The gas cooler of claim 11 , wherein the fins are made of deep drawn profiles. 14 . The gas cooler of claim 1 , wherein the fins are coated so as to increase radiation. 15 . The gas cooler of claim 1 , wherein the fins are arranged vertically. 16 . The gas cooler of claim 1 , wherein the fins are arranged vertically. 17 . The gas cooler of claim 1 , wherein the fins continue or exceed the geometry of the gas compartment. 18 . A medium voltage switchgear assembly, comprising: the gas cooler of claim 1 , wherein the gas cooler is mountably connected to the medium voltage switchgear assembly. 19 . The assembly of claim 18 , wherein the gas cooler is connected in a fixed manner to the medium voltage switchgear assembly.
